2006/10/28, Kenneth Gonsalves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
if license is all that important, how come hurd is where it is?
Because Linux is GPL. Hurd was started because GNU project wanted a
Free kernel tocomplete the GNU Operating System. Once Linux is
available under GPL that goal is alreaday achieved, we have GNU/Linux
as a variant of complete GNU Operating System . Only motivation to go
ahead with Hurd is technical, because it tries to address some
limitations of Unix design (some design compromises which was taken
when we didn't have much resources and made sense at that time are
still continuing ). So that proves license is more important than
technical merits.
